Bully Pulpit

The term "bully pulpit" stems from President Theodore Roosevelt's reference to the White House as a "bully pulpit," meaning a terrific platform from which to persuasively advocate an agenda. Roosevelt often used the word "bully" as an adjective meaning superb/wonderful. The Bully Pulpit features news, reasoned discourse, opinion and some humor.

RE: RE: RE: The purpose-driven left

Behethland B. Clark responds to Steve Brenneis:

I disagree that the majority of Liberals are atheist or agnostic. They see religion as a personal issue that doesn't need to be discussed in government-supported settings. ie: schools, the courtroom, etc. It should be taught at home and in the church of your choice. How quickly we've forgotten that most of us left England to escape the tyrannical control of the Catholic church.

I'm curious, so please be honest in your answer. How many true atheists do you know? I mean people who say that they do no believe a greater power created the heavens and the earth. There are certainly many variations on the belief, but I only know ONE person who claims to be atheist. I know you said that Mr. Wolber claims to be. Anyone else? Don't give names, of course.

I'm just curious because I don't know many people who don't have a belief in a higher power.
